<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" itemprop="description"> <p>Earlier this week, in the context of another conversation, one of our users at Scarleteen mentioned that her feelings on <a href="http://www.scarleteen.com/glossary#abortion" title="A procedure to intentionally end a pregnancy before a birth. Miscarriage is also sometimes called &quot;spontaneous abortion,&quot; even though it is usually not intended.
" class="lexicon-term">abortion</a> had changed to a negative when she learned that her mother's <a href="http://www.scarleteen.com/glossary#pregnancy" title="The state of carrying a developing embryo or fetus within the uterus. Medically, someone is considered to be regnant when an egg has been fertilized by sperm, cells divide, and the fertilized egg is implanted within the lining of the uterus." class="lexicon-term">pregnancy</a> had been unplanned, and that her mother considered abortion. She said that upset her, because she really liked existing. She did say she was still pro-choice, but her sentiment bothered me all the same. Some of why it bothered me was political, and also about the work that I do and have done. But in thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that the ways it bothered me most were intensely personal.</p>
<p>The truth is, I envy her. A lot. I envy she was able to have a discussion in which her mother made clear she had the right to choose and she chose to remain pregnant and parent her.</p>

I&#039;ve already seen on this site a question on how to get birth control, but I have more questions than were answered. I&#039;m 16, as is my boyfriend. Neither of us are able to drive yet because we didn&#039;t get our permits at the correct time (though we can take a cab to get somewhere), my mom would be highly unsupportive of the fact me and him are having sex (and even more unsupportive of me being pregnant), but we don&#039;t want to stop or anything, we just want more ways to protect ourselves against pregnancy. So, I need a way to get birth control without my mom&#039;s know. In the question I&#039;ve read, you guys said that the doctor would ask for my name, address, phone number, and social security number. By giving them any of these things, would my mom be able to know I had seen the doctor? One of my main fears of getting birth control is my mom finding out somehow. Also, I don’t know where my mom keeps my social security card, and I haven’t memorized the number, so how can I find it out? Can I not have to tell the doctor? </div></div></div>Wed, 15 Dec 2010 15:05:59 +0000Heather Corinna3363 at http://www.scarleteen.comThe age of consent... for what, exactly?http://www.scarleteen.com/article/abuse_assault/the_age_of_consent_for_what_exactly

I made certain that I didn&#039;t ejaculate inside her. She might be pregnant, but right now I&#039;m really just looking at all the options. The state we live in, Virginia, requires one parent to be notified of a decision to get an abortion. However, in Washington D.C. there are no rules saying a minor has to contact or notify her parents or anything. I&#039;ve read that it is illegal to transport or drive the minor across state lines to get an abortion. Is that true? If yes, could she drive the car and I be a passenger? Or follow her in my car? If she is pregnant, I know she wouldn&#039;t want to get her abortion alone... so what is the current laws on this?
